Lithurgopsis echinocacti (Cockerell, 1898)

[ Type: NHMUK; ♀ La Cueva, Organ Mountains, about 1,615 mts elev., New Mexico, USA; September 4, 1898] While Lithurgopsis echinocacti has been previously reported in both BC and BCS ( Ayala et al. 1996) , publicly available records from BC are currently unavailable. We examined specimens collected in the Gulf Coast in September 1981 (1 ♂), and in the Sarcocauleschent Shrubland in November 2013 (1 ♂), and September 2015 (1 ♀; BBSL). The CARCIB team collected 12 specimens (9 ♀, 3 ♂) in the Gulf Coast between July 2016 and September 2018. Additionally, the BBPT collected one male in the Gulf Coast in November 2020 ( MABC).
